Zihuatanejo currently registers 69 active cases of Covid-19. Three more deaths attributed to the virus were also registered today. We aren't out of the woods by any means, but the numbers indicate we're doing better than we've been doing for the past couple of months. Now if we could just get the rest of the local population vaccinated.

There doesn't seem to be as many tourists around for the Fiestas Patrias as we would like or were expecting. Maybe they just aren't leaving their hotels. But today was a beautiful day even though the port remains closed to small vessels due to the mar de fondo (which seemed rather inconsequential today compared to yesterday, IMHO). The beaches are pretty chewed up at the moment, however the sun has been out most of the day and there doesn't appear to be any rain in the area.

Most Mexicans will be watching the Grito de Dolores by Presidente López Obrador at the Palacio Nacional on TV, but local authorities in many municipios including Zihuatanejo's will also be holding their own events. Zihuatanejo's government's Grito can be watched on their Facebook page beginning at 10:30 PM.

No pyrotechnics have been announced, and it's been almost too quiet, but be prepared to comfort your pets should things start exploding. Lots of animals really suffer from the explosions.

¡FELICES FIESTAS PATRIAS!
¡Viva México! ¡Viva Zihuatanejo!
